WOW! Sometimes all people need is a chance to feel wanted and needed, no matter what they've been diagnosed with or as! Encouraging!

Unlike the silly email forwards, that carry a fictional feel good message - this story is the real thing, and lifts you up!

Great video! It gave me goose bumps to watch this young man score six 3 pointers in the game. Beautiful indeed.
